Colt Express: Bandits – Tuco

About this expansion

Colt Express: Bandits – Tuco is an expansion for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. It introduces a game-controlled bandit whose personal goal can defeat everyone if achieved.

In this story, Tuco wants to avoid the Marshal, his former friend, against whom he holds a grudge. Players must work together to keep Tuco from winning, while remembering that the game ultimately has only one winner: the richest bandit.

Tuco changes the way familiar actions affect the train. His Fire and Punch actions hit every possible target, including Belle, creating broad threats that players must anticipate. His Swap action exchanges Tuco’s position with the Marshal’s, while Tuco’s Marshal action moves the Marshal away from him.

• Shared danger: Tuco operates under the rules of this expansion and may defeat all players.
• New action effects: Fire and Punch affect every possible target, while Swap and Marshal manipulate the Marshal’s location.
• Wanted rewards: A player whose action brings the Marshal to Tuco’s location receives a Wanted token worth $500.
• Tuco’s final value: His loot is worth $250 for each bullet he has shot by the end of the game.

Every action can shift the balance between cooperation and personal gain. Players need to respond to Tuco’s behavior without losing sight of their own fortune, making his grudge against the Marshal a central challenge throughout the game.

With its focused scenario and distinctive bot behavior, Colt Express: Bandits – Tuco tells a new story each time this expansion is played.
